Return day in Sumter superior
court brought little new business for
the forth-coming session three weeks
hence, and the docket as now made
up is the lightest In a number of
years. Not a suit against a railroad
or the city was filed, and barring the
usual number of negro divorce cases
there will be little business for the
term unless the grand jury develops
a lot of it on the criminal docket.
Court convenes on the fourth Mon
day, 25th lust.. Judge Littlejohn pre
siding, and present Indications point
to a session not exceeding two Weeks,
Instead of two months, as was the
case many years ago when conditions
were not so good In Sumter as at
present.
Session Will Be Quite a
* Busy One.
The regular full term of Sumter
superior court convenes three weeks
hence, and the session gives promise
of being a busy one although the
amount of civil business wilt scarce
ly be as large as usual while the
criminal docket will be unusually
light unless more cases develop In
the lnterum.
At present there are but three prht
oners In the Jail, and none of these
are held for murder.
The entire session may not con'
sume more than two or three weeks.
The following named grand jurors
have been drawn to serve at this
term of the court
J. J. Wilson, W. K. Bell, W. M. Me
